Chemical Peels are done in the comfort of the MedLounge San Ramon by our medical professionals
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin. By encouraging controlled cell turnover, chemical peels reveal a fresher, smoother, and more even complexion underneath. At MedLounge San Ramon, our providers customize each peel to your skin type and goals, helping address fine lines, sun damage, acne, uneven tone, and texture concerns.
Beyond surface renewal, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which supports skin firmness and elasticity over time. Most treatments take less than an hour, and while you may experience redness, mild peeling, or sensitivity afterward, these effects are temporary and part of the natural healing process. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a safe recovery and beautiful, lasting results.
Chemical peels come in different strengths:
Light peels (using AHAs like glycolic or lactic acid, or BHAs like salicylic acid) target surface-level dullness, clogged pores, and mild discoloration with little to no downtime.
Medium peels (often with TCA or stronger blends) penetrate deeper to improve moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and stubborn pigmentation, usually requiring a few days of recovery.
Deep peels go beneath the surface layers of skin for significant rejuvenation and are reserved for more advanced skin concerns.
Who Should Try Chemical Peels in San Ramon:
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles for a youthful appearance.
Treat acne and acne scars for smoother skin.
Even out skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and sun spots.
Enhance overall skin radiance and texture.
Support long-term skin health with regular treatments.
Chemical peels remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, smoothing rough texture, unclogging pores, and promoting a more even, radiant complexion.
They help reduce acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone, leaving the skin looking clearer and brighter.
By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help soften fine lines, improve elasticity, and reduce the visible signs of aging.
Just sit back, close your eyes, and let your professionally selected chemical peel do the work. At our San Ramon practice, chemical peel patients may feel mild tingling at first; however, since our peels also act as a mild anesthetic, the treatment usually feels comfortable.
Chemical peels can be applied to the entire face, specific facial areas, or even the neck, chest, hands, legs, and arms.The experienced and licensed medical aestheticians at our MedLounge MedSpa will help you pick one that will improve your skin the most within your available downtime.

At MedLounge San Ramon, our chemical peel process is designed to gently exfoliate damaged skin and stimulate healthy cell turnover for a smoother, more radiant complexion. During your treatment, we carefully apply a specially formulated peel solution to your skin. As it works, the peel dissolves dead skin cells, clears clogged pores, and encourages the growth of fresh, healthy skin.
Depending on the type and strength of the peel, we can target a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne and acne scars, sun damage, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin texture. Over the days following your peel, the treated skin naturally sheds, revealing clearer, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath.
Many of our clients from San Ramon, Blackhawk, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek choose regular San Ramon chemical peel treatments. These sessions help maintain skin health, stimulate collagen production, and achieve long-term improvements in tone, texture, and radiance.
Your journey begins with a professional skin consultation. During this visit, your provider evaluates your skin type, discusses your concerns (acne, pigmentation, fine lines, dullness, etc.), and recommends the best chemical peel option tailored to your goals.
Before the peel, we gently cleanse your skin to remove oils, dirt, and makeup. In addition, some clients may be advised to use pre-treatment skincare—such as medical-grade exfoliants or pigment control products—for 1 to 2 weeks beforehand. This preparation enhances results and also minimizes risk.
Your provider applies the chemical peel solution evenly across the skin. Depending on the type of peel, you may feel mild tingling, warmth, or tightening as the active ingredients begin working to exfoliate the outer layer of skin.
The peel is left on the skin for a set time, allowing the ingredients to penetrate and begin breaking down dead skin cells. Your provider closely monitors your skin to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
After the peel has done its work, the solution is either neutralized or left to self-neutralize (depending on the type of peel). A soothing serum, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen are then applied to protect the skin.
You’ll receive personalized aftercare guidelines. This may include avoiding sun exposure, pausing retinoids or exfoliants, keeping skin moisturized, and applying SPF daily. Light peels often require little downtime, while medium-depth peels may involve visible peeling over several days.
As the old skin sheds, you’ll notice smoother texture, brighter tone, and a more even complexion. For best results, many clients undergo a series of 3–6 peels spaced about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments.
Over the next several weeks, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant, with optimal results achieved through a series of treatments.
Chemical peels can improve acne, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, melasma, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and dull texture. Different strengths target different concerns for customized results.
